FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a machine used to trimplants. Furthermore, the trimmer can be operated by a single person.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is often necessary for plants to be trimmed once they have beenharvested. Trimming can be performed for any number of reasons and isoften done by hand. When hand trimming is performed it is often done atthe time the plant is cut down, also known as wet trimming. Wet trimmingis preferred when trimming by hand as it is easier to cut and handle theplant. Trimming that is performed by hand often takes a great deal oftime especially when dealing with large and frequent harvests. Thus,some machines have been designed that allow leafy plants to be trimmedwhile dry. However, these machines are large and require multiple peopleto load and operate the machine.

Therefore it is the object of the present invention to provide a machineused to trim leafy plants that can be operated by a single person. Thetrimmer body of the present invention is mounted to a pivot stand thatallows the trimmer body to rotate three hundred and sixty degrees. Inthis way the trimmer can be easily rotated to a loading position, an inuse position and a product removal position by a single person. Thepresent invention also features a sling with angled cuts that creates apulling action with the spinning basket and in turn trims the desiredproduct. The sling is positioned further away from the basket towardsthe bottom such that the leaves of the product may fall into the gapbetween the sling and the basket. The sling is positioned closer to thebasket towards the sides such that the leaves are pinched between thesling and the basket and pulled off. Adjustment knobs are used to adjustthe sling height and in turn control the level of trim. Additionally,the present invention features a timer such that it can be set to runfor a predetermined amount of time.
